Attentive to every detail, highly efficient, and always available and helpful throughout the safari.
We had an incredible experience with Fondness Vacations! Stephen was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He arranged our transfer from Kenya and was incredibly flexible, adapting the tour to our needs. He was always attentive, helpful and quick to reply whenever we contacted him. He even went the extra mile and arranged a lovely surprise for my boyfriend’s birthday, which made the experience even more special. Everything was well organised and reliable, and we truly felt looked after throughout the whole trip. We highly recommend Fondness Vacations and would definitely book with them again!

Stephen is reliable, courteous, friendly, and highly competent.
This safari was our first adventure of its kind, and it exceeded all our expectations. It delivered everything we had dreamed of and everything that had been promised in the tour description.
The natural beauty and wildlife were breathtaking in every way. The accommodations organized by Stephen were outstanding, with each one being a highlight in its own right. The overnight stay at the luxury tented camp Safari Heaven was especially unforgettable.
Last but not least, our guide Gilbert made the experience truly special. Thanks to his knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality, we enjoyed three wonderful and memorable days.

Excellent experience for family safari
Fondness Vacations team is excellent! From the organization before the travel. Example? The internal flight they have found us saved many hours of road up to North Serengeti, other operators did nit offer that in the price.
AirFrance have left our luggage in Paris, and Martin our excellent pick up driver gave us new T-shirts from the agency!! In addition asked a shop to open before midnight for us to buy some basics!
Then our exceptional safari driver Mr Jef…! Such a special eye… he could spot a lion from our moving car at an incredibly distance. He was extra attentive with our daughters, answering questions and supporting us in every request during the trip.
In addition… both tented hotels were not only beautiful but the food and the staff were great!
Highly recommend!

Excellent guide, great communication and all Big Five in just two days - a fantastic safari!
We had a truly great experience with this operator from start to finish. Our guide was excellent - knowledgeable, patient and genuinely passionate about the wildlife, which made every game drive enjoyable. Communication was another highlight: the owner stayed in touch with us the whole time, before and during the trip, so we never felt left on our own. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five within just two days, which exceeded our expectations. Everything on the ground matched exactly what had been offered and agreed beforehand - no surprises, no hidden costs. The camps were also really nice, comfortable and well located, with friendly staff and good food. Overall a great experience and excellent value for money. We would happily book with them again and can recommend them to anyone planning a safari.

Perfectly organised safari - relaxed pace, superb guide and all the Big Five
Our guide deserves particular praise. He had a remarkable eye for spotting animals long before we noticed anything, and he explained the behaviour of the wildlife and the ecosystem in a way that was interesting without ever becoming a lecture. He also drove carefully and kept a comfortable pace, which matters a lot at my age - we never felt rushed from one place to another.
The owner kept in regular contact with us throughout, which gave us confidence that any question would be answered quickly. Accommodation was comfortable and clean, the locations were well chosen, and the meals were better than we had expected in the bush. Seeing all of the Big Five so early in the trip was a wonderful bonus.
For the money we paid, the quality was outstanding. I would not hesitate to recommend this operator to friends of our generation as well as to younger travellers.
Amazing experience! All perfect!
My son and I had an wonderful time on our 5 days Safari! The Fondness Vacations are very professional! Nickson and Stephen organized for us a special trip, with a very good value of money!
We were lucky to have a wonderful guide and driver, Kanty! He gave us a lot of well documented explanations and details! And he was very friendly! He fulfilled all our expectations!
We saw all Big Five and planty of other wild animals! And we visited also a Masaai Boma! Everything was quite impressive!
We recommend from all our heart this tour company!
